10 Learning Objects:

The first 5 of my objects are to help my 2nd graders learn more about Wisconsin.




Lesson 1) Students will begin by learning about Wisconsin history and other facts. These are two websites in which I can introduce to my students to get them the baseline information and they can use later in the unit.

Lesson Objects:
Wisconsin Facts and Other Links
Wisconsin History


Lesson 2) Students will have access to websites to explore the parks, forests, state events, and Wisconsin climate.

Lesson Objects:
Wisconsin Parks and Forests
Wisconsin Climate and Economy
Wisconsin Events

Lesson 3) After learning about history and facts and events and places around Wisconsin, as a class, my students and I will get the chance to Skype with other classrooms and people across Wisconsin and learn more about those individual cities. Skype in the classroom would be a great tool to use to reach out to others around the state.

Lesson Object:
Skype in the Classroom


My second set of 5 objects are for my 6th grade students to gain knowledge, through technology and books, about the Holocaust.


Lesson 4) I will begin the Jewish Holocaust lesson by introducing the history of what occurred.

Lesson Objects:
Holocaust Museum
Holocaust History with Pictures and Videos

Lesson 5) My students and I will then be reading Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli as part of our unit read.

Lesson Objects:
This book talk will get my students excited and interested in reading the book Milkweed and give them a demonstration of what they could do for their own book talks for individual reads. This book talk comes from Youtube.


Lesson 6) After reading Milkweed, I will be introducing literature circles to my students. During this time students will create timelines of major events that occur throughout their book.



Lesson 7) The unit will end with individual reads in which my students, with some personal choice, will be reading a variety of different books all relating to the Jewish Holocaust.

Lesson Objects:

I will direct my students to the Goodreads website to get an idea of a book to choose. With some support for reading levels, my students will choose a book to read about the Holocaust.

5) My students can use google maps to discover places all around Wisconsin. Students can map out how long it would take to get from A to B, can use street view to look at other cities, and they can check out traffic depending on seasons and days of the week.

5 Jewish Holocaust Technology Projects


1) Here is a sample Voki that my students can create of a summary of the Jewish Holocaust.


2) My students can create online timelines of the important events that happen throughout Milkweed. This is a sample from Dipity.

3)

Holocaust

My students will get the chance to make a book talk about their individual books that they are reading including pictures (and/or words) that represent the Jewish Holocaust. This sample is from Animoto.

4) QR CodeUsing QR codes, my students can take their classmates to different websites or videos that link with their literature circle or individual reads. This was made on QR Code Generator.

5) Screen Shot 2014-12-11 at 2.34.37 PM.png Thisis a Powtoon that the students can create about the Holocaust.


*Because Rubistar was down, I was unable to create the rubrics for these projects.
